After last night's episode ...Several EV Grieve readers pinpointed the helicopter this evening to east of Avenue C and roughly a little south of Seventh Street...

We arrived to find a very low-flying helicopter... no word just yet on what or who they were looking for...

As EV Grieve reader Erin noted, "Last week a burglar came in through a 2nd floor window in our building on e 6th betw B & C. My neighbor screamed when she saw him, and he ran off. Some construction is being done on the ground floor, and the fire scape ladder had been extended down the ground - that's how I think he got up."

This incident centered around 20 ave D . The reason for the copter was to search neighboring rooftops for a man with a gun .As far as I know no one was taken into custody and no one was injured . .

Earlier there was another gun run with possible shots fired and injuries but victim declined treatment .this was in the same eastern reaches of the East Village . We don't have much detail on this event .

....and also Grieve there was a strong arm robbery at the corner of avenue A and 10th street later in the evening around 9:30 to 10pm .In this case as far as we know no one was seriously injured . We do not know if the thief was caught .

Thank you for the information, Bob. I also saw two men in handcuffs on Third Street while I was walking toward First Avenue early last evening. Not much hoopla. No police cars. Just about 5-6 undercover cops in various street clothes.
